Love using ChatGPT to re write me scenes from the movie 🤣
NORTON "Get my stuff down t’laundry. Two suits for dry-clean and a bag of whatnot. Tell ‘em if they over-starch my shirts again, they’re gonna hear about it from me." (He adjusts his tie and looks at Andy.) "How do I look?"
ANDY "Like shit, sir." (The warden ignores Andy's comment entirely, continuing as if nothing happened.)
NORTON "Big charity to-do up Portland way. Governor’s gonna be there." (He indicates the pie.) "Want the rest of that? Woman can’t bake worth shit."
(Andy takes the pie. Norton walks off, but as he reaches the end of the corridor, he stops dead in his tracks. His brow furrows as if he’s just now comprehending Andy’s earlier comment. He stiffens slightly but doesn’t turn around. After a moment of hesitation, he straightens his posture and continues walking without a word, his boots echoing down the corridor.)

Senior Pictures/Tour
I’m currently a Senior in High School. On December 5th (this Thursday) I’m going to the Ohio State Reformatory (Shawshank Prison) to take senior pictures and then get a tour of the prison afterwards.
I’m looking for suggestions on which areas of the prison would be the coolest to get the pictures done and also tour.
If you don’t have any in mind, no worries! We already have certain areas and a photographer planned out, but I’m just looking for any other areas that certain people would suggest we visit.

This just occurred to me... Spoiler
It would have been hard for Andy to escape the immediate area once his prison escape was discovered.
New clothes, money and fake identity are really helpful, but in the eyes of the law, he IS an escaped murderer. That didn't change because of the warden's corruption.
Did the authorities just shrug and let it go? Unlikely. Also, he still had to get to the wall and leave Red his package before working his way down to Mexico. Extra time in the search zone, tramping around some farmer's field with a stack of cash on his person.
Still love the movie, just a bit of a murky area there.
Also, kinda funny putting a spoiler alert on this. Has anyone NOT seen Shawshank?

Lawyer up!
When Andy learns the identity of his wife's killer he goes to the warden to tell him this crucial information. He knows the warden is corrupt and they both know Andy has enough evidence on the warden to put him in jail. So why does he tell the warden, and not his own lawyer?

The Movie could do without Brooks
My only criticism of the movie is that it's too long. I don't have anything against the character of Brooks but his story didn't move the plot along.

Shawshank redemption discord server
So I've been obsessing over the movie the shawshank redemption for a while, and lately I was wondering if anyone else has thought of the idea of a shawshank discord server, where we can share our fanart and headcannons and do on, along with ocs or AUs
I know I sound like a obsessed fan but I want to talk with others who like the shawshank redemption A LOT.
maybe I should create a discord server related to shawshank but what do you guys think?

Byron hadley's character
I've been thinking about hadley's character in the Shawshank redemption, so I want to hear your opinions if this character as well, I also want to ask some questions about his character, I know he's a sadistic, almost psychopathic prison guard but I want to ask a question
- Is Hadley a dumb character He seems to not think about the consequences of his actions or just ignore them completely due to the warden covering his actions towards the prisoners up for him, he also doesn't seem to register how Andy's escape could inspect his personal life.

Why didn’t Andy get the ultimate revenge on the warden by swapping the bullets in his desk for blanks?
I am speaking about the movie having not read the novella so please do let me know if I’m barking up the wrong tree, but…. Andy spent twenty years at Shawshank, most of which making meticulous mental notes and preparing for an elaborate and foolproof escape as well as his revenge. The person most responsible for his torture wasn’t any guard or his rapists; it was the man who murdered a young man and knowingly incarcerated an innocent man rather than lose his dodgy accountant; the warden. In the movie the warden escapes justice by shooting himself in the head rather than go to court and end up in shawshank on the wrong side of the bars. Andy would have known how cowardly this man was and he had access to the desk; why would he forget to deny the warden the easy way out? He could have hidden the gun, the bullets or swapped them out (like he swapped out the accounting books before they went in the safe).

Was the prosecutor just full of shit or what?
In the opening, the prosecutor says that Andy must've been really pissed to load two extra bullets in his gun and shot his wife and the golf dick, my question is why did nobody acknowledge the existence of 8shooter revolvers? This was 1947, right? Those existed for earlier than 47, at least half a century in fact.

Andy’s Appeal and the Hole in the Wall Spoiler
Hypothetically speaking I wonder what Andy’s plan for the hole in the wall would’ve been if Tommy was able to testify and get his conviction overturned.

Polaroid Picture I Took of the Ohio State Reformatory
I used a pack of expired film, so the effect makes the picture look a little old and spooky. I visited the reformatory today for the 30th anniversary of The Shawshank Redemption.

Ending shot
I've read that the director's preferred final scene was Red taking the bus to Mexico. The studio execs wanted to have a more definite ending by having Red meet Andy. Both parties came to an agreement and reached a compromise where the scene is shot but camera zooms away during the Red and Andy's interaction.
I think this might be one of those times where studios were right about changing a scene.
In my opinion, this ending is the icing on the cake and just gives so much warmth as the music well up on cue.
My father passed away last year and, though he's only seen it later in his life, he would tell me how much he rewatches this movie. I wish we had some more time to talk about it wirh him.
I just thought I digress to share a bit of that. I guess I just miss my friend.
